This class is an approach to aerial dance through improvisation, partnering and Skinner Releasing Technique (see SRT description). We will explore approaching the trapezes as a way to create improvised and crafted solo dances or move as partners within an image based landscape. Formal aspects of trapeze technique will also be addressed as needed but the majority of the class will be exploratory and experiental. There will be solo times of partnering and shared group dances with the trapeze. Some aerial experience is required to attend these classes.

Awareness Through Movement® (ATM) lessons are an amazing way to learn to move with more confidence, elegance and power and improve the quality of all your actions. Specific verbally guided movement sequences present an opportunity to recognize personal movement habits that enable you to move well and also those that interfere with your intentions. The lessons range from early learning of infants and children to highly complex skills required for sports, yoga, performing arts and the martial arts. An atmosphere of non-judgment allows individuals of a wide range of ages and abilities to learn at their own pace. Moving with attention you experience a surprising ease in coordinated action. The process stimulates your innate intelligence and ability to self-correct, improving breathing, balance, flexibility and your ability to spontaneously do what you want with precision!
